ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the degrees of comparison. Section 26.1 opens with a discussion of equative, comparative and superlative forms, such as those given in (1). We will see that comparative and superlative forms are generally derived by morphological means, although we will also see that there are cases where periphrastic forms may or must be used. Section 26.1 also discusses the als/dan/van-phrases that accompany the equative, comparative, and superlative forms.
